- Ingredients
-
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup ground flax
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup chopped walnuts, divided
1/2 cup butter or margarine
2/3 cup milk
6 large apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tbsp orange juice or milk
- Directions
-
1) Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Get cast-iron skillet (oven proof) out on your stovetop.
2) In a large bowl, mix together the flour, flax, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. Cut in the margarine until the size of peas. Pour in the milk all at once, stir with a fork just until mixed. Knead once or twice, but don't over mix it.
3) Melt the 1/4 cup butter in the cast iron skillet over high heat. Add the brown sugar and apples. Cook for 3 or 4 minutes, just until apples begin to soften (not ARE soft, just begin. They'll still get more cooking time.)
4) Turn off the heat and drop the biscuit dough on top of the apples by large spoonfuls, so that there are individual biscuits covering all the apples. Sprinkle the top with the remaining walnuts.
5) Bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes.
6) While it's in the oven, mix together the powdered sugar and enough orange juice just to make nice glaze. When the biscuits are done, drizzle the glaze over the top and enjoy.
